VariousThe Mighty Striker Shoots At Hits

As one of the top reggae producers from the 60s to the 80s, Bunny Lee was responsible for a lot of music. There is no comprehensive collection of all his work, although given the timeframe that may well be impossible. Fortunately, the mighty Moll-Selekta label has pulled together some of his greatest recordings of the 70s and remastered them with truer-than-life quality. These songs may well sound better here than they did back in the recording studio. Starting off with the sweet, Impressions-like "Jamaica by Honey Boy, were in deeply pop territory. But pop from this period in Jamaica meant sublime, soulful vocals played by the best studio bands in the islands history. At least a few of these songs will be known by the average fan, with two tracks being the basis of dubs on Blood and Fires well known King Tubby collection, Dub Gone Crazy. This is a righteous showcase of the assembly line of rhythm cutting, voicing and dub mixing that Lee had perfected during the 70s.
